Chadwell St Mary Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2024, Chadwell St Mary recorded a crime rate of 7.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 11% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. The breakdown of offences reveals a stark imbalance between violent and property crimes, with 33 violent incidents (42.9% of total) compared to 24 property crimes (31.2%). Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, with a rate of 3.1 per 1,000 — 12% above the UK average for this category. This dominance of violent crime may reflect the area's character as a built-up urban locality within Thurrock, where social interactions in public spaces could contribute to higher rates of assault and disorder. Seasonal context also plays a role: as June marks the start of summer, increased foot traffic and extended daylight hours may influence crime patterns. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, saw a 7% deficit compared to the UK average, suggesting local efforts to address nuisance crimes may be effective. However, the sharp rise in 'other crime' (100% increase) and burglary (400% increase) highlights pockets of vulnerability, linked to transient populations or unsecured properties. The interplay between these trends — with violent crime dominating but property crime showing unexpected spikes — illustrates the complexity of maintaining public safety in a mixed-use urban environment.

June 2024 saw a dramatic 400% increase in burglary cases, rising from one to five incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in 'other crime' and 'other theft' categories, underscores a shift in criminal activity. Violent crime remained the dominant category, accounting for 42.9% of all reported incidents, with a rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents — 12% above the UK average for violence and sexual offences. Shoplifting and drugs-related offences fell sharply, with shoplifting down 84% compared to the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, though still prevalent, was 7% below the UK average. For residents, the 1-in-138 monthly exposure figure offers a clear metric to assess local crime risk. The contrast between rising burglary rates and declining public order offences suggests evolving patterns in criminal behaviour, potentially influenced by seasonal factors or local initiatives.

Chadwell St Mary's crime rate in June 2024 fell to 7.3 per 1,000 residents, an 8.3% decrease from the previous month's 7.9 per 1,000. This downward trend suggests a stabilisation in local crime patterns, though the month-on-month volatility in specific categories indicates shifting dynamics. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of three crimes per day in June, a figure that provides a tangible sense of local exposure. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 138 residents, a ratio that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the population of 10,614. While this monthly exposure is lower than the previous month, the sharp increases in burglary and other crime categories highlight the uneven nature of crime distribution. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, despite the overall decline, residents may still encounter crime at a rate that feels significant, particularly in areas where specific offences have spiked.
